TUFTS UNIVERSITY IS THRILLED to be planning our inaugural
CHANGEMAKERS SUMMIT ON DIVERSITY & INCLUSION. This 1-day event
will bring together key partners and thought
leaders from throughout our community to discuss a range of social
issues that impact how we work together.
Our aim is to spend time focused on discussing important—and
sometimes difficult—topics that we don't often have the chance to
talk about candidly in our day-to-day work; topics that nevertheless
tie into how our employees experience the workplace and how we, as
employers and influencers, can make a real and positive difference
in our community.

All Tufts community partners are invited! This is a wonderful

curious to learn more, wants to contribute to the conversation, and
seeks opportunities for proactive change.
WHAT CAN I EXPECT FROM THE SUMMIT?
There will be a mix of keynotes, fireside chats and roundtable
discussions throughout the day. Each topic will be no longer
than 20 minutes, as they are meant to be stimulating conversation
starters. There will be scheduled breaks to allow for networking and
deeper conversation among event attendees and speakers.
Limited Capacity - Register Today!
Due to popular demand and limited capacity we expect to fully sell out
and encourage you to buy discounted early bird tickets now through
July 26th, after which prices increase. Your entry includes breakfast,
lunch and a post-event cocktail hour with some surprises in store.
